Hello All,

Gino - Such a good subject. I don't have the words to put it all into order. I find my mind chock-a-block full of ideas and possible scenarios. It is proving difficult to discern the timings etc. At the moment, I perceive that the events of Psalm 83 will happen first - followed rather swiftly by Ezekiel 38. I realise this doesn't answer your musings on the Euphrates drying up - but it's prophecy ! No question! And, there is no question that this drying up of the Euphrates River is happening now. It has been happening for awhile now. Your thoughts on this "drying up" may be pertaining to the kings of the near East, has enormous merit.

I don't know if you will get where I am going with this, but I pray you will. I believe that Israel has to be judged and redeemed first - before the rapture. This enables the dead in Christ to arise first - followed swiftly by the rapture. Israel has to be redeemed first. And this redemption will come about by Israel being brought to her knees by an attack by Amalek. Iran and all her proxies. Because most of Iran's proxies are poor and ignorant soldiers of war - they have no planes etc. They will be able to penetrate Israel on foot. Because the Euphrates is now more than passable on foot. Iran also has missiles and rockets. I believe the Psalm 83 war will be a war of shock and awe. Allowing foot soldiers to penetrate Israel. As will be Ezekiel 38 be a war of shock and awe. It will take Israel by surprise.

I have been doing a lot of study since Russia invaded Ukraine. ALL the world's armies will be pulled toward the area around Ukraine. North/East. They will all end up fighting there - World War 3. At this juncture, I don't think WW3 is avoidable. We can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Revelation begins with warnings to the churches. NO fake religion allowed. You either walk with God or you don't. This doesn't mean you have to be a mealy-mouthed saintly person. God is not fooled by that. It means that you have to BELIEVE - deep within your soul. It's a primal thing. A total gut/soul knowledge. A faith beyond earthly reason. No matter how physically weak -alcoholic - drug addict - suicidal depressed etc., what counts is how genuine your faith is. How truly you believe. Because it's NOT a fairy tale. It's the story of our lives. The reality of the war between good and evil.

I came across this link which, nearly enough, describes what I believe scripture is pointing to. Your post in the 2nd link, Gino.

May God Bless you - and all the Doves.
